Well what do you know. I just received this email:
For all teams that play 11 v 11 in the SCDSL (2006 and older)
Below is the playoff format for this season.
Each group will start in the Round of 8 on 11/10.
Quarter-finals will be on 11/11.
Semi-finals on 11/17 and .......
Finals on 11/18. All playoff games will be a Silverlakes and possibly Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park (11/10 and 11/11 only).
All WILD CARDS will be determined by Pts/GP (Points per Game Played. Second column on the standings page).
By accommodating all of the test dates, extending the season in to the first weekend of November and making a "true" playoff system we now begin at the Round of 8. For ties in Pts/GP the following tie-breakers will apply.
- Head-to-head (when applicable). If 3 teams are tied in the same geographical division, then head-to-head is not considered and teams move to next tie-breaker.
- Best Goal Differential
- Highest Goals For
- Fewest Goals Against
- Coin Toss (2 SCDSL officials will conduct any coin toss and will notify the teams of the results).
*Discovery Division teams do not participate in the playoffs*
Trophies and medals will be awarded for Champions and Finalists in each playoff division.
Playoffs are not optional. If your team qualifies, then the team is expected to play.
